A tiered spell (presumably 2nd tier or lower) for talking with any one person far away; in YGGDRASIL it was used only in special situations, while in the New World it is unreliable and often paired with other means of confirmation.

  • It is not telepathy: the sender must speak aloud, unless it is combined with [Silent Magic] (Vol. 4)
  • In YGGDRASIL, it uses a dedicated line so that only the recipient hears; it has a time limit, which commander-type classes can extend
  • In the New World [Message] has low credibility: the human nation of Gatenbarg relied on it so heavily that three pieces of false information sparked a civil war (unverified), and monster and demi-human invasions then destroyed it; since then, anyone who trusts [Message] too much is considered a fool, and separate verification is required
  • Locals' [Message] is imprecise and hard to hear over long distances, and a metal room can block it; even the loyal Fluder and Ainzach could not fully trust a [Message] from Ainz, so Ainz ended up teleporting to them in person
  • Inside Nazarick, [Message] is the main means of communication, and Ainz often receives the Guardians' reports this way
